Thumbs up My Copper Intake Mod

Finally, my idea became a reality and i successfully built this intake system out of copper for our SVX. I chose copper because it is the best coolant a metal can get.

Installing it as it is in the SVX? Naaaaaaaaaaaaaa, it needs an isolator. for that i chose Amiante as the isolator (you can see it on pic Step 7 and 9). But this small piece isn't the one i am gonna put, i'd rather go the thickest possible and wrap everything up with a rubber tape, on one side it holds all the system together and on the other side it acts too as an isolator.

(PS: Amiante was banned from most countries because it is never healthy and may cause lug diseases, but it is one of the best isolators in the world... Unfortunately it is still being used over here with no governmental supervision )

Also i should add that the whole system has 2 computer fans inside it to keep it as cool as possible.

One more thing, this is phase 1 of the project, the major part is still to come... STILL TOP SECRET FOR NOW it will be done most probably by next thursday.
